We report a case of an anomalous single midline vertebral artery (VA) in a case of atlanto-axial dislocation (AAD). The left VA coursed in the midline at craniovertebral junction as there was no right VA. The left internal carotid artery was also not formed. This was a case report of a 34-year-old male patient who presented with features of high cervical myelopathy. On evaluation, he had fixed AAD. There was inadvertent intra-operative VA injury, which was sealed to control the brisk bleeding to require stenting ultimately. Patient did not survive and expired after 5 days due to brain edema secondary to compromised anomalous intracranial circulation.
我们报告一例寰枢椎脱位(AAD)患者出现异常单一中线椎动脉(VA)的病例。由于没有右侧椎动脉,左侧椎动脉在颅颈交界处走行于中线。左侧颈内动脉也未形成。这是一例34岁男性患者的病例报告,该患者表现出高位颈髓病的特征。经评估,他患有固定性AAD。术中意外发生椎动脉损伤,对其进行封闭以控制活跃出血,最终需要进行支架置入。患者未能存活,因异常颅内循环受损继发脑水肿,于5天后死亡。
